The Drummer Boy of the Cum

The Chicago Letiger says: Some time
sketch of Captain Mott, who was said to
be the youngest soldier in our civil war
Since that time we have received infor-
nation that Avery Brown, The Drum
mer Boy of the Cumberland lays claim
to being the youngest soldier and sub
stantiates his claim with undeniable
facts
Avery Brown was born at Delphos.
Allen county, Ohio, on September %, 1852
On August is, 1861, he was mustered into
the United States service at Camp Chase,
Columbus Ohio, and joined Company
c, Thirty-first Ohio Volunteer Infantry,
First Brigade, Second Division, Four
teeuth Army Corps. His age therefore,
at muster, was eight years, eleven months
and thirteen days, which certainly emit
ties him 10 the distinction of being the
youngest soldier in the civil war. His
claim is conceded by all other claimants.
At present Mr. Brown resides at Elkhardt.
Ind. He is marble-cutter by trade and
musician of no mean ability. He is
highly respected as a citizen and as a
member of the Grand Army post, is gen
erous to a fault, and is ever ready to lend
his aid to all worthy objects of charity, is
a genial, God fearing gentleman, and con-
Ir,..Se h A. . "a

Fen Inchings.

When we were boys and used 10 play
marbles there were bows who did not
play fair and who would keep reaching
over the line IN order to get nearer the
marbles in the ring and have a better
chance TO knock them out This was
called inching," and fen inchinrs y
was the warning against unfair plav.
Since the enactment of the interstate CON-
merce law some railroad companies have
evidently determined not to play fair
with the public, and are inching in va
rious ways. When prohibited from Civ
ing rebates and drawbacks to large ship
pers, the trunk lines made up classifi "a
ton which openly diseri minated against
the small shipper all the way from is to
GO per cent, and besides made number
of intricate regulations intending to swell
their revenues at the public expense. In
many cases they openly advanced rates.
In others they did ii in other ways. We
are not among those who object TO rail-
roads getting price for service rendered.
but We do want them TO get it in a fair.
impartial and aboveboard manner. There
has been SO much crookedness in rail-
road operations in the past that it seems
very hard for some of our railroad man
ayers to do business in this way, and
such managers need to he admonished as
the marble-players of our boyhood were.

" No go, boss, said Uncle Ephriam.
The dealer gave him another pair, and
